Good idea. Then I could take them all apart to check internal construction.

Thanks. That's a cool video.

In a post yesterday, Imagesintime posted a link to the Lens Rentals site that shows the weather sealing of the 7Dll. Canon has indicated that it has 4x the sealing of the previous 7l. But what the heck did THAT mean?
I've wanted a camera that I can shoot in open rain with NO protection, so as to be able to work all the functions and menus, easily and freely.
Enter the 7Dmkll!!
In the accompanying article, the sealing is explained and demystified in detail. WOW, that is some heavy duty sealing! I feel this camera can indeed shoot in the open rain, with an equivalent lens of course! Being able to do sports and nature in the rain is going to be big for some shooters. And in a $1799 body!! :thumbup:
Is the 7ll as weather sealed as the pro cameras? Maybe more? It must certainly be a contender for the best sealed camera. It was hinted that you could put it under a faucet.
What else has THAT much sealing, short of an underwater camera! I'd like to see it! ;-)

I don't let the weather stop me from shooting with ANY camera. I live in fricken Portland for crying out loud. ha ha :-) Having said that...

It is nice to know that the 7DII is properly sealed, but I don't think I would take it out into the rain just because I can. My sports car can go 185mph, but I wouldn't take it there either. :-)

I use a cheap OP/Tech Rainsleeve for my gear. 6 bucks, and I don't have to worry about rain ever regardless which body I use to shoot with.

It is a great demo. However, the second picture he took has a problem. The lens cap was left on.

Tom, there is that Japanese guy that does that and way more with every manor of dslr, like take them into the ocean or hammer nails with them and they work afterward.
The question is, what does the sealing look like on the inside.
Many cameras say they are weather sealed, but when disassembled, other than matching surfaces, labyrinth parts or rudimentary seals, it's just sales-hype jargon.
We need to actually see what the sealing is on the inside. Certainly there is a uTube somewhere! ;-)
